LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 8-18mm / F2.8-4.0 ASPH.
LEICA certified 8-18mm Micro Four Thirds wide-angle lens. A suitable lens for vast landscapes and internal property photography.
Branching into Wider Fields of Expression
This wide zoom lens fuses LEICA's image rendering capabilities and nimble mobility. From ultra-wide-angle 16mm landscapes to standard 36mm snapshots (35mm camera equivalent), the incredible resolution of this LEICA DG lens renders everything clearly from corner to corner. It also accommodates a 67mm filter for greater creativity in both photos and videos. Designed for reliable use even under poor weather conditions, this agile, high-quality lens is ideal for shooting in the field.
Nano Surface Coating
Put an end to unwanted ghosting and flaring with Nano Surface Coating. This special, ultra-thin coating was developed originally by Panasonic to reduce bothersome reflections across the entire light spectrum. The result: crystal-clear pictures even if you’re photographing a light source in the dark.
Dust, Splash and Freeze-resistant Design
The H-E08018 LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 8-18mm lens is designed to withstand tough shooting conditions thanks to its dust, splash* and freeze-resistant construction, allowing you to shoot in temperatures as low as -10 °C. ･Dust and Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
Ideal for Video Recording
The H-E08018 lens offers fast, accurate autofocus, critical for recording sharp 4K video, and smooth aperture changes so there are no sudden jumps in exposure.
H-E08018 Lens Construction
The optimised configuration has 15 elements in 10 groups, including 1 ASPH/ED, 3 ASPH, 2 ED and 1 UHR lenses to minimise aberrations and ensure superb resolution.
H-E08018 MTF Chart
The H-E08018 lens meets the strict optical standards set by Leica Camera AG and provides outstanding sharpness and resolution from the centre to the edges of the frame. ･For lenses that are capable of compensating distortion, the horizontal axis shows the distance from the centre of the corrected image.
